Our Garden






At the end of March we planted our first garden. Our wonderful neighbors gave us the land to use and we have had so much fun. It has been hard work for Margaret and I in different areas. Me with the weeds and the planting and her with the canning and the blanching. But its been a great experience.
We planted cucumbers, onions, rutabaga, romaine, radishes, cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash, green peppers, beans, egg plant, tomatoes, corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkins and red potatoes.

With Farmer Kasaan's special gardening magic our little field turned into a money saving, feast.

I planted my first garden this year too. Yours is much more organized and your plants are much taller than mine. The rain killed my peas and the slugs did some damage to other plants. But wow you guys have skill if this is your first garden!!! I am so impressed!

Awesome! You guys do things RIGHT! Violet has been loving our garden too...especially the dirt...and especially picking the vegetables before they are actually ripe...and especially eating them right off the plant before they ever make it inside to be washed! Instant salads! I ADORE these pictures...and it is VERY obvious how much work Farmers Jennings and Jennings have been doing. Applause! Love, Steph Lanciki
